Jucy Fruit, Don't feel alone. Regan did the same thing here in the US. Now there is this poor guy who lives down the st. from me who really should be in some kind of a care facility. He scared the crap out of me at 2am. He was just walking the streets. Had to call the cops and they just took him home. They knew who he was and said they had found him all over town, sometimes sleeping on park benches ect. What Was Regan thinking of?????

Looks like they went to a lot of trouble to impress a lot of people. Were there actually that many people considered Insane??? If so, where have all the insane gone?? ???? I realize that the progress drugs has helped some people, once considered insane, cope with life. What I can't understand is that if they had that many insane people back then, why don't we have that many now?? OR DO WE????

So many memories flooding back. Haven't thought of that place or those people in years.

a long, long time ago I worked in a B-shop that was in a hospital which had an attached nursing home. This makes me thing of those poor people in the nursing home, whose hair I did. Brings back memories.

Woah, Tons of your pictures remind me of Silent hill, with the walls blackened and peeling. Some of them scare me.. Still quite nice.

Yes, it is a very haunting picture for me. It reminds me of summer for some strange reason. I can imagine being in that room alone with absolute silence and feeling depressed. Beautiful picture by the way.

I enjoyed looking at the pics & reading your comments, I also like photography but that wasn't the reason I stumbled across this site, I was searching the area as I just bought a house next to the hospital which the NHS sold in 1988. One of the comments by big Ed mentioning asbestos worried me a bit, have I missed something there and does any of you live locally who can give an insight about the area/development, I am hoping to move in this June07.
